# Mimi

[Mimi](huggingface.co/papers/2410.00037) is a neural audio codec model with pretrained and quantized variants, designed for efficient speech representation and compression. The model operates at 1.1 kbps with a 12 Hz frame rate and uses a convolutional encoder-decoder architecture combined with a residual vector quantizer of 16 codebooks. Mimi outputs dual token streams i.e. semantic and acoustic to balance linguistic richness with high fidelity reconstruction. Key features include a causal streaming encoder for low-latency use, dual-path tokenization for flexible downstream generation, and integration readiness with large speech models like Moshi.

You can find the original Mimi checkpoints under the [Kyutai](https://huggingface.co/kyutai/models?search=mimi) organization.

The example below demonstrates how to encode and decode audio with the [`AutoModel`] class.

<hfoptions id="usage">
<hfoption id="AutoModel">

```python
>>> from datasets import load_dataset, Audio
>>> from transformers import MimiModel, AutoFeatureExtractor
>>> librispeech_dummy = load_dataset("hf-internal-testing/librispeech_asr_dummy", "clean", split="validation")

>>> # load model and feature extractor
>>> model = MimiModel.from_pretrained("kyutai/mimi")
>>> feature_extractor = AutoFeatureExtractor.from_pretrained("kyutai/mimi")

>>> # load audio sample
>>> librispeech_dummy = librispeech_dummy.cast_column("audio", Audio(sampling_rate=feature_extractor.sampling_rate))
>>> audio_sample = librispeech_dummy[-1]["audio"]["array"]
>>> inputs = feature_extractor(raw_audio=audio_sample, sampling_rate=feature_extractor.sampling_rate, return_tensors="pt")

>>> encoder_outputs = model.encode(inputs["input_values"], inputs["padding_mask"])
>>> audio_values = model.decode(encoder_outputs.audio_codes, inputs["padding_mask"])[0]
>>> # or the equivalent with a forward pass
>>> audio_values = model(inputs["input_values"], inputs["padding_mask"]).audio_values
```
